Welp. Stick a fork in us...

Who’s transferring 

[Ron Mexico]

This is just painful.

I'm really not looking forward to all the coaching talk we're going to hear about all offseason.

Sighhhh.  I am struggling with how our season ended.  Some self-inflicted, but more so the lack of respect.

Respect is earned. We all talked shit on how weak the SEC was, well go beat a 9-9 SEC team. 

[Red Don]

Well, That's a WRAP! 

 

Poor Shooting & Poor Rebounding did us in the last two games to End the Season!

PSU came out flat. We looked flat most of the game. Curious to see how the two weeks off effects the real tournament teams. Six years...zero postseason wins. Not something that looks pretty on a resume. Now we hope Copeland/Palmer return. 

[RedEyedFanatic]

In like a lion out like a lamb. God What a crappy last 2 weeks

[brfrad]

That sucks.  Win 13 games in the Big 10, and get shipped off to a road game in the NIT.

[Cazzie22]

I hate to say it but this off-season is critical to the program.  Everyone needs to improve. 

[hhcscott]

I guess Nebraska wasn't undervalued by either selection committee. They were slightly worse than  a #4 seeded NIT team.

[tcp]

thanks for a mostly fun season, guys. we had a heck of a run in the middle of it, and that was awesome. 

 

here's to a better year next year.

We beat that team by 15 at home.  Should never have had to go to play in that back ass state

I guarantee even with how we played tonight that we win by double digits at home.

There are parts of this state I would let become part of Mississippi.

Still think they were undervalued.  Tell me with a straight face that this was the same team that played the last 4-5 weeks of the season.  Did the really want to be here?  Now I agree with those that say "Still come out and compete," but if they didn't want to be here or play hard, we were going to get beat.  Still undervalued though.

[hskr4life]

You stick these two teams in the tourney on a neutral court, Nebraska wins about 8/10 times.

[nustudent]

We were undervalued by the NIT committee.   But it's our consistent performance like this when the lights do get bright that fuels the disrespect and justifies it.

I said committee...not Lunardi. It's sports, results matter, not opinion. I love this team, but we did not show up the last two games.

[northwillriseagain]

Or nebraska was given an unfair shake to play in bum f.... with a team who didn’t want to even be there. Whatever. Many decent teams don’t show up for meaningless games. 

 

Just hope they return most players, or it or it will be a big step back.
